Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliances, and in particular to cabinet components and dishwashers. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern kitchen appliance industry, dishwashers are becoming increasingly popular, bringing people an efficient and convenient dishwashing experience. To enhance product performance, many dishwashers are equipped with independent water tanks. However, in actual use, independent water tanks are prone to water residue problems. Water residue can cause many negative effects. Long-term water accumulation breeds a large number of bacteria and mold, emits odors, interferes with kitchen air quality, and may contaminate dishes, threatening the health of users. In winter, when temperatures are low, residual water freezes and expands, easily rupturing the water tank, pipes, and related components, causing damage, increasing repair costs, and increasing usage risks. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cabinet component and a dishwasher to address the problem of water residue easily remaining in the water tank.
[0004] A housing assembly includes: a water tank assembly having a receiving cavity and a liquid outlet communicating with the receiving cavity; a side plate assembly disposed on the water tank assembly and located on the side of the water tank assembly; a base assembly disposed on the side plate assembly, the base assembly, the side plate assembly, and the water tank assembly enclosing an installation space; and an inner liner assembly located within the installation space, a receiving gap forming between the inner liner assembly and the side plate assembly, a portion of the water tank assembly extending into the receiving gap, and the liquid outlet located on the portion of the water tank assembly extending into the receiving gap.
[0005] This application optimizes the water tank structure through structural design of the cabinet assembly, reducing residual water. The water tank assembly features a receiving cavity with a liquid outlet communicating with it. This outlet is located on the portion of the water tank assembly extending into the receiving gap. This design allows water to flow more smoothly through the outlet during drainage. The water tank assembly extends into the receiving gap. This compact and rational layout fully utilizes the space between components, achieving functional integration within a limited volume. This makes the overall structure of the dishwasher more compact, meeting users' needs for efficient use of kitchen space. Furthermore, the lower position of the water tank assembly extending into the receiving gap facilitates complete drainage. The side panel assembly connects the water tank assembly and the base assembly, providing lateral support for the entire cabinet, while the base assembly serves as the foundation support. This structural design allows the water tank assembly, side panel assembly, and base assembly to work together to form a stable whole, ensuring the inner tank assembly can be stably placed within the installation space. This improves the stability of the dishwasher during operation, reduces the risk of component damage due to vibration and other factors, and extends the product's lifespan.
[0006] In one embodiment, the drain outlet is located at the lowest point of the water tank assembly relative to the horizontal plane. When the drain outlet of the water tank assembly is located at its lowest point relative to the horizontal plane, according to the principle of gravity, the water in the containment cavity can flow to the drain outlet at the fastest speed and to the maximum extent under the direct action of gravity during the drainage process, which greatly shortens the drainage time, ensures that the water in the water tank can be emptied quickly, reduces the problem of excessively long waiting time for subsequent washing programs due to slow drainage, and makes it easier to drain the water completely.
[0007] In one embodiment, the receiving cavity includes a top receiving space and a side receiving space, which communicate with the top receiving space. The side receiving space is located between the side panel assembly and the inner liner assembly. The liquid outlet is located at the bottom of the side receiving space, and the top receiving space is located at the top of the inner liner assembly. The receiving cavity is divided into a top receiving space and a side receiving space, and the two are interconnected. The top receiving space is located at the top of the inner liner assembly. This design cleverly utilizes the relatively unused space above the inner liner, effectively expanding the water tank's storage capacity and improving space utilization efficiency without increasing the overall volume of the machine. The liquid outlet is located at the bottom of the side receiving space, allowing water in the side receiving space to drain quickly and completely under gravity.
[0008] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly includes a top shell and a side shell. The side shell is disposed on the top shell and located within the receiving gap between the inner tank assembly and the side panel assembly. The side shell has the liquid outlet. By positioning the side shell within the receiving gap between the inner tank assembly and the side panel assembly, this design makes full use of the limited internal space of the dishwasher. By cleverly embedding the water tank assembly into this gap, a reasonable layout of the water tank is achieved without occupying additional space, making the overall internal structure of the dishwasher more compact. The placement of the side shell within the receiving gap allows for precise positioning and stable installation of the water tank assembly, utilizing the relative positional relationship between the inner tank assembly and the side panel assembly. Simultaneously, it increases the volume of the water tank assembly, expands the contact area between the water tank assembly and the inner tank assembly, and improves heat exchange efficiency.
[0009] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly has an installation notch located on one side of the water tank assembly, and the inner tank assembly and the installation notch enclose an installation area. The presence of the installation notch allows the inner tank assembly and water tank assembly to enclose an installation area. This design cleverly utilizes space that might otherwise be wasted, transforming it into a functional area. By rationally planning the space within the installation area, internal components such as door lock assemblies and automatic sliding door devices can be arranged, making the internal layout of the dishwasher more compact and rational. This not only improves space utilization but also avoids mutual interference between components, contributing to improved overall performance stability of the dishwasher.
[0010] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly has an overflow port communicating with the receiving cavity, and the inner tank assembly has a water outlet, with the overflow port communicating with the inner tank assembly via the water outlet. By providing an overflow port in the water tank assembly communicating with the receiving cavity and connecting it to the water outlet of the inner tank assembly, communication between the water tank assembly and the inner tank assembly is possible when water is added, making water addition more convenient. Simultaneously, it prevents damage to internal components due to errors during water addition, such as overfilling or creating additional load. The overflow port also ensures stable operation of the equipment.
[0011] In one embodiment, an overflow pipe is also included, which is disposed on the top housing. The overflow pipe has a communicating inlet and an overflow outlet, with the inlet at a higher horizontal level than the overflow outlet. This height difference between the inlet and overflow outlet allows for precise control of the water tank's overflow. Water only flows into the overflow pipe and out through the overflow outlet when the water level in the tank slowly rises to the height of the inlet. Compared to designs without an overflow pipe or with no height difference between the inlet and overflow outlet, this design allows for more accurate setting of the water tank's overflow threshold, preventing operational problems caused by premature or delayed overflow.
[0012] In one embodiment, the side panel assembly has a first protrusion, and the water tank assembly has a first recess. The first protrusion and the first recess are adapted to each other. The first protrusion has a first connecting hole and a first limiting opening. The first recess has a first limiting hole and a first limiting protrusion. The first limiting hole and the first connecting hole are opposite to each other, and the first limiting protrusion is adapted to the first limiting opening. A first locking member is also included, with a portion of the first locking member passing through the first connecting hole to connect the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly. The first protrusion of the side panel assembly is adapted to the first recess of the water tank assembly, and the first limiting protrusion is adapted to the first limiting opening. This concave-convex fit design effectively limits the relative displacement of the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly in all directions. Simultaneously, the first locking member passes through the first connecting hole and the first limiting hole, firmly connecting the two together, further enhancing the stability of the connection. During dishwasher operation, even under vibration or shaking, the side panel assembly and water tank assembly remain tightly connected without loosening, ensuring the overall structural stability of the dishwasher and extending its lifespan. During installation, simply align the first protrusion of the side panel assembly with the first recess of the water tank assembly, ensuring accurate engagement of the first limiting protrusion and the first limiting port for quick initial positioning. At this point, the first connecting hole and the first limiting hole are naturally aligned, facilitating the installation of the first locking component for secure fastening. Compared to some complex connection methods, this design significantly simplifies the installation process, reduces installation difficulty, and saves installation time, offering great convenience whether assembled on the production line or during user installation or maintenance.
[0013] In one embodiment, the side panel assembly has a second protrusion, and the inner tank assembly has a second recess. The second protrusion and the second recess are adapted to each other. The second protrusion has a second connecting hole, and the second recess has a second limiting hole. The second limiting hole is opposite to the second connecting hole. A second locking member is also included, with a portion of the second locking member passing through the second connecting hole to connect the side panel assembly and the inner tank assembly. The second protrusion of the side panel assembly is adapted to the second recess of the water tank assembly, and the second limiting protrusion is adapted to the second limiting hole. This concave-convex fit design effectively limits the relative displacement of the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly in all directions. Simultaneously, the first locking member passes through the first connecting hole and the first limiting hole, firmly connecting the two together, further enhancing the stability of the connection. During dishwasher operation, even under external forces such as vibration and shaking, the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly remain tightly connected without loosening, ensuring the overall structural stability of the dishwasher and extending the product's lifespan.
[0014] In one embodiment, a top cover assembly is also included. The top cover assembly is connected to the side panel assembly, and a water tank mounting cavity is formed between the top cover assembly and the inner tank assembly. The water tank assembly is located within the water tank mounting cavity, and the top cover assembly abuts against the water tank assembly. The top cover assembly, connected to the side panel assembly, encloses the water tank assembly within the water tank mounting cavity and abuts against the water tank assembly. This design further improves the overall structure of the dishwasher. The top cover assembly, like a "lid," together with the side panel assembly, forms a stable frame, firmly fixing the water tank assembly within it. During dishwasher operation, this effectively reduces the risk of displacement of the water tank assembly due to vibration, enhances the stability of the entire device, avoids noise caused by component shaking, extends the service life of each component, and improves the user experience.
[0015] The second aspect of this application discloses a dishwasher, including the aforementioned cabinet assembly.
[0016] The second aspect of this application discloses a dishwasher that provides greater energy efficiency through the use of a cabinet assembly, in which the liquid in the water tank assembly exchanges heat with the inner tank assembly during use. The water tank assembly extends into the accommodating gap between the inner tank assembly and the side panel assembly, allowing for a lower water level at the outlet. This enables more thorough water output from the water tank assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0036] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the cabinet components and dishwasher of the present invention.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment discloses a tank assembly, including: a water tank assembly 1, which has a receiving cavity 101 and a liquid outlet 102 communicating with the receiving cavity 101; a side plate assembly 2, which is disposed on the water tank assembly 1 and located on the side of the water tank assembly 1; a base assembly 3, which is disposed on the side plate assembly 2, and the base assembly 3, the side plate assembly 2 and the water tank assembly 1 enclose an installation space 301; and an inner liner assembly 4, which is located within the installation space 301, and a receiving gap is formed between the inner liner assembly 4 and the side plate assembly 2, with a portion of the water tank assembly 1 extending into the receiving gap and the liquid outlet 102 located on the portion of the water tank assembly 1 that extends into the receiving gap.
[0039] This application optimizes the water tank structure through structural design of the cabinet components, reducing residual water. The water tank component 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 101 and a liquid outlet 102 communicating with the receiving cavity. The liquid outlet is located on the part of the water tank component that extends into the receiving gap. This design allows water to flow out more smoothly through the liquid outlet when the water tank is draining. Part of the water tank component 1 extends into the receiving gap. This layout is compact and reasonable, making full use of the space between the various components and achieving functional integration within a limited volume. This makes the overall structure of the dishwasher more compact and meets the user's need for efficient use of kitchen space. Moreover, the lower position of the part of the water tank component 1 that extends into the receiving gap facilitates the drainage of water from the water tank component 1. The side panel component 2 connects the water tank component 1 and the base component 3, providing lateral support for the entire cabinet. The base component 3 serves as the foundation support. This structural design allows the water tank component 1, side panel component 2, and base component 3 to cooperate with each other to form a stable whole, ensuring that the inner tank component 4 can be stably placed within the installation space 301. This improves the stability of the dishwasher during operation, reduces the risk of component damage caused by vibration and other factors, and extends the product's service life.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the liquid outlet 102 is located at the lowest point of the water tank assembly 1 relative to the horizontal plane. When the liquid outlet 102 of the water tank assembly 1 is located at its lowest point relative to the horizontal plane, according to the principle of gravity, the water in the receiving cavity 101 can flow to the liquid outlet at the fastest speed and to the maximum extent under the direct action of gravity during the drainage process, which greatly shortens the drainage time, ensures that the water in the water tank can be quickly emptied, reduces the problem of excessively long waiting time for subsequent washing programs due to slow drainage, and makes it easier to drain the water completely.
[0041] like Figure 10 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the receiving cavity 101 includes a top receiving space 1011 and a side receiving space 1012, the side receiving space 1012 is connected to the top receiving space 1011, the side receiving space 1012 is located between the side plate assembly 2 and the inner liner assembly 4, the liquid outlet 102 is located at the bottom of the side receiving space 1012, and the top receiving space 1011 is located at the top of the inner liner assembly 4. The receiving cavity 101 is divided into a top receiving space 1011 and a side receiving space 1012, and the two are connected to each other. The top receiving space 1011 is located at the top of the inner liner assembly 4. This design cleverly utilizes the relatively unused space above the inner liner, effectively expanding the water tank's water storage capacity and improving space utilization efficiency without increasing the overall volume of the machine. The liquid outlet 102 is located at the bottom of the side receiving space 1012, allowing the water in the side receiving space 1012 to be quickly and completely drained under the action of gravity.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the water tank assembly 1 includes a top shell 11 and a side shell 12. The side shell 12 is disposed on the top shell 11 and is located within the receiving gap between the inner tank assembly 4 and the side plate assembly 2. A liquid outlet 102 is provided on the side shell 12. By positioning the side shell 12 within the receiving gap between the inner tank assembly 4 and the side plate assembly 2, this design makes full use of the limited space inside the dishwasher. By cleverly embedding the water tank assembly into this gap, a reasonable layout of the water tank is achieved without occupying additional space, making the internal structure of the entire dishwasher more compact. The placement of the side shell 12 within the receiving gap allows for precise positioning and stable installation of the water tank assembly 1 by utilizing the relative positional relationship between the inner tank assembly 4 and the side plate assembly 2. At the same time, it can increase the volume of the water tank assembly 1, expand the contact area between the water tank assembly 1 and the inner tank assembly 4, and improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the water tank assembly 1 is provided with an installation notch 103, the installation notch 103 is located on one side of the water tank assembly 1, and the inner liner assembly 4 and the installation notch 103 enclose the installation area to form an installation area. The presence of the installation notch 103 allows the inner liner assembly 4 and the water tank assembly 1 to enclose the installation area. This design cleverly utilizes space that might otherwise be wasted, transforming it into a functional area. By rationally planning the space within the installation area, internal components such as door lock components and automatic sliding door devices can be arranged, making the internal space layout of the dishwasher more compact and rational. This not only improves space utilization but also avoids mutual interference between components, contributing to improved overall performance stability of the dishwasher.
[0044] like Figure 11 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the water tank assembly 1 is provided with an overflow port 104 communicating with the receiving cavity 101, and the inner tank assembly 4 is provided with a water outlet 401, with the overflow port 104 communicating with the inner tank assembly 4 via the water outlet 401. By providing an overflow port 104 communicating with the receiving cavity 101 in the water tank assembly 1, and connecting it to the water outlet 401 in the inner tank assembly 4, the water tank assembly 1 can communicate with the inner tank assembly 4 when water is added to the water tank assembly 1, making water addition more convenient. At the same time, it can prevent damage to internal components due to excessive water addition or additional load caused by errors during water addition. The overflow port 104 ensures the stable operation of the equipment.
[0045] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes an overflow pipe 13, which is disposed on the top housing 11. The overflow pipe 13 has a connected inlet 105 and an overflow outlet 104, with the inlet 105 at a higher horizontal level than the overflow outlet 104. This height difference between the inlet 105 and the overflow outlet 104 allows for precise control of the water tank's overflow. Water only flows into the overflow pipe 13 and out through the overflow outlet 104 when the water level in the tank slowly rises to the height of the inlet 105. Compared to designs without an overflow pipe or with no height difference between the inlet and overflow outlet, this design allows for more accurate setting of the water tank's overflow threshold, preventing equipment malfunctions caused by overflowing too early or too late.
[0046] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the side panel assembly 2 has a first protrusion, and the water tank assembly 1 has a first recess; the first protrusion and the first recess are adapted to each other; the first protrusion has a first connecting hole and a first limiting opening; the first recess has a first limiting hole and a first limiting protrusion; the first limiting hole and the first connecting hole are opposite to each other; the first limiting protrusion and the first limiting opening are adapted to each other; and a first locking member is also included, with a portion of the first locking member passing through the first connecting hole to connect the side panel assembly 2 and the water tank assembly 1. The first protrusion of the side panel assembly 2 is adapted to the first recess of the water tank assembly 1, and the first limiting protrusion is adapted to the first limiting opening. This concave-convex fit design can effectively limit the relative displacement of the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly in all directions. At the same time, the first locking member passes through the first connecting hole and the first limiting hole, firmly connecting the two together, further enhancing the stability of the connection. During dishwasher operation, even under vibration or shaking, the side panel assembly and water tank assembly remain tightly connected without loosening, ensuring the overall structural stability of the dishwasher and extending its lifespan. During installation, simply align the first protrusion of the side panel assembly 2 with the first recess of the water tank assembly 1, ensuring accurate engagement between the first limiting protrusion and the first limiting port for quick initial positioning. At this point, the first connecting hole and the first limiting hole are naturally aligned, facilitating the installation of the first locking component through them for secure fastening. Compared to some complex connection methods, this design significantly simplifies the installation process, reduces installation difficulty, and saves installation time, providing great convenience whether during assembly on the production line or during user self-installation or maintenance.
[0047] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the side panel assembly 2 has a second protrusion, and the inner tank assembly 4 has a second recess; the second protrusion and the second recess are adapted to each other; the second protrusion has a second connecting hole, and the second recess has a second limiting hole; the second limiting hole and the second connecting hole are opposite to each other; and a second locking member is also included, with a portion of the second locking member passing through the second connecting hole to connect the side panel assembly 2 and the inner tank assembly 4. The second protrusion of the side panel assembly 2 is adapted to the second recess of the water tank assembly 1, and the second limiting protrusion is adapted to the second limiting hole. This concave-convex fit design can effectively limit the relative displacement of the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly in all directions. At the same time, the first locking member passes through the first connecting hole and the first limiting hole, firmly connecting the two together, further enhancing the stability of the connection. During the operation of the dishwasher, even under the action of external forces such as vibration and shaking, it can ensure that the side panel assembly and the water tank assembly are tightly connected and will not loosen, ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the dishwasher and extending the service life of the product.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes a top cover assembly 5, which is connected to the side panel assembly 2. A water tank mounting cavity 501 is formed between the top cover assembly 5 and the inner tank assembly 4. The water tank assembly 1 is located within the water tank mounting cavity 501, and the top cover assembly 5 abuts against the water tank assembly 1. The top cover assembly 5 is connected to the side panel assembly 2, enclosing the water tank assembly 1 within the water tank mounting cavity 501 and abutting against it. This design further improves the overall structure of the dishwasher. The top cover assembly, like a "lid," together with the side panel assembly, forms a stable frame, firmly fixing the water tank assembly within it. During dishwasher operation, this effectively reduces the risk of displacement of the water tank assembly due to vibration, enhances the stability of the entire device, avoids noise caused by component shaking, extends the service life of each component, and improves the user experience.
[0049] Example 2

[0051] The second aspect of this application discloses a dishwasher that provides greater energy efficiency through the use of a cabinet assembly, in which the liquid in the water tank assembly 1 exchanges heat with the inner tank assembly 4 during use. The water tank assembly 1 extends into the accommodating gap between the inner tank assembly 4 and the side panel assembly 2, allowing for a lower water level at the outlet 102. This enables more thorough water output from the water tank assembly 1.
[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
